THE SENTIMENT OF VERMONT.
Resolutions COndemning the Action OF
the President Forwarded to
Washington.

President Clevelands order for the re-
moval of the rebel battle flags captured by
Union troops to the capitols of the Southern
States created much Indignation among
the members of the Grand Army who as
sembled last week at Brattleboro to dedi-
cate the soldiers monument. The an
nouncement that the president had re-
voked the order did not appreciably lessen
the feeling. The sentiment of all patriotic
Vermonters on the subject was voiced in
a series of resolutions unanimously adopt
ed at mass meeting of Grand Army com
rades. Col. Hooker in offering the resolu-
tons said that although the president had
recalled the order the proposed action
still deserved rebuke The resolutions
adopted are as follows
ResOlUed That while we earnestly deprecate
all attempts to keep alive feelings of section
alism, and regard with most friendly feelings
our late antagonists, we most solemnly and
name of our fallen comrades, whose memory
is so wildly brought to mind by the solemn
ceremonies of the day, against removing from
their present resting place the bloody en-
blems of u treason that cost so many precious
lives, fully believing that such removal will
do more to keep alive the bitter recollectOns
of the war than anything that has TRANSFERRED
since its close.
RESOLVED, That these resolutions be trans
mitted by the department commander. to be
forwarded to his eXcellency, the governor OF
Vermont, with the request that the same be
forwarded TO President Cleveland.
Governor Ormsbee Endorsed the resolu
tions as follows, and forwarded the same
to the president:

pent without knowledge of God in Christ

EXECUTIVE MANSION,
WASHINGTON, June 16 1881
/ have to-day considered with more care
than when the subject was orally presented
to the action of your department directing
letters to be addressed to the governors OF all

further steps be taken in the matter except to
examine and inventory these flags and adopt
proper measures for their preservation. ANY
direction as to the final disposition of them
should originate with Congress.

Thibodaux Sentinel.
We have seen a letter, written by q
gentleman who is engaged in cam
ming factory IN Nevada, in which be
states that the farmers in bis vicinity
raise from 200 10 $50 bushels Of toma-
toes to the acre, and occasionally get
as high as 500 bushels, for which the
factory pays 20 cents per bushel. This
gives fran fifty to ono hundred dollars
revenue. Now If $50 bushels can be
grown on one acre Of ground 10 Neya-
da how much ought a man to obtain
in Louisiana 2 One crop could be
made and sold here before the Nevada
man would think Of putting the seed
into She ground.
There is no question Of the feasibllt
ity here Of growing two crops IN one
season, if not more, and BY fertiliziag
properly, and pushing the plant pers
haps three crops could be realized,
Thus it will be seen that Q revenue
of at least $l0o per acre could be
secured from the growth of tomatoes
every season and often great deal
more.
What crop that is grown here will
give as much return, and at as little
expense to the cultivator Besides,
1t requires no advances, no outlay, no
expense except labor that the grower
himself can do, And, as soon as the
fruit is ready for market, the cash
will be on hand to pay for it, without
any commissions, freights or draw
backs of any nature.
What better prospect would q small
planter desire to have placed before
him. A ready market for his labor,
quick sales, little. or no expenses, a
par of mules and cart or light Wag-
on will be everything that is required.

Rayne Signal; Our worthy towns
man, Mr.. Henry L. Shaw, showed US
on Thursday last some very fine sam
pies of headed wheat, barley and oats,
which he had gathered from the side
of the railroad track between here
and Crowley. The seeds were never
planted bat were dropped from the
ears, while in transit, on the hard road
bed. This practically demonstrates
that these cereals will grow in our
soil, and if properly planted and culti-
waited will produce well, We see no
reason why it will not produce as good
crops as our sister States of Mlssis-
sippi and Texas. We need some one
to start the enterprise.

AFatal Mistake.


bpbLphhAs ObNIAeA'
A very sad accident occurred in
Cbataignier, in this parish, during the
early part of this week, by which two
children, aged IS and 4 years, re-
spectively, sons of Mrs, Ernest Fuse
lier, (whose husband was killed last
year by blow on the head with q
bottle,l lost their lives under tho
following distressing circumstances /;
Some time since a bottle Of stryGhnine
had been brought into the house to
destroy birds that were ravaging the
crops, and after a portion Of its CON
tents had been used was pnt away
where it was supposed to be safe,
One Of the children, who had been all
ing with fever for several days, was
given, by its mother, a dose Of what
she supposed was quinlne from this
bottle, and soon it took conVulsions
and died. The other child being sick,
dose Of the supposed qpinine was
given it, and before the first child was
buried the other died with tho same
symptoms. An investigation by the
distressed mother and neighbors soon
disclosed the terrible mistake. The
bottle was plainly labeled "Poison," ="
but the mother could not read and had
failed to observe the suggestive and
ghastly insignia.
